BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION

“Bone Marrow on X chromosome” kinase (BMX, also termed ETK) is a non-receptor tyrosine kinase and is activated downstream of phosphatidylinositol-3 kinase (PI-3K) and v-src sarcoma (Schmidt-Ruppin A-2) viral oncogene homolog (SRC), but its substrates are unknown. Positional scanning peptide library screening revealed a marked preference for a priming phosphotyrosine (pY) in the −1 position. Potential substrates include multiple tyrosine kinases with kinase domain pYpY sites required for full activity. BMX has been found to phosphorylate residue Y577 of focal adhesion kinase (FAK) subsequent to Y576 phosphorylation by SRC. In addition, BMX loss by RNA interference and mouse embryonic fibroblasts (MEFs) from Bmx negative (Bmx⁻) mice displayed impaired FAK signaling. Insulin receptor (IR) phosphorylation similarly was decreased by BMX loss, as was hepatic IR phosphorylation in Bmx⁻ mice. However, glucose tolerance was increased, reflecting a marked compensatory decrease in the activity of the AKT phosphatase PHLPP. These findings reveal a mechanism through which BMX functions as a central regulator of multiple kinase pathways.

Tec kinases, which include TEC, BTK, ITK, RLK/TXK, and BMX, are non-receptor tyrosine kinases expressed primarily in lymphoid and myeloid lineages. They are related in structure to SRC in that they have an SH3 domain followed by an SH2 domain and tyrosine kinase domain but lack the C-terminal tyrosine that negatively regulates SRC kinases (Afar et al., Mol. Cell. Biol. 16, 3465 (1996); Andreotti et al., Nature 385, 93 (1997); Nore et al., Biochim. Biophys. Acta 1645, 123 (2003); Park et al., Immunity 4, 515 (1996)). (Figure JA). The Tec kinases are unique in having a pleckstrin homology (PH) domain that mediates membrane targeting in response to PI-3K activation by binding to phosphatidylinositol 3,4,5-triphosphate (PIP₃) (Qiu et al., Oncogene 19, 5651 (2000)), which results in SRC-mediated phosphorylation of a kinase domain tyrosine that activates the enzyme. Mutations in BTK, which is restricted to B cells, cause X-linked agammaglobulinemia (de Weers et al., Hum. Mol. Genet. 3, 161 (1994)), while loss of ITK expressed in T cells results in a variety of T cell defects (Andreotti et al., Cold Spring Harb. Perspect. Biol. 2, a002287 (2010)). BMX is broadly expressed by cell types outside the lymphoid/myeloid lineage including arterial endothelium and epithelial cells (Chott et al., Am. J. Pathol. 155, 1271 (1999); Rajantie et al., Mol. Cell Biol. 21, 4647 (2001); Robinson et al., Proc. Natl. Acad. Sci. U.S.A. 93, 5958 (1996); Tamagnone et al., Oncogene 9, 3683 (1994)). While Bmx⁻ mice have only a modest defect in ischemia-induced angiogenesis (Rajantie et al., Mol. Cell Biol. 21, 4647 (2001); He et al., J. Clin. Invest. 116, 2344 (2006); Zhang et al., J. Biol. Chem. 278, 51267 (2003); Pan et al., Mol. Cell Biol. 22, 7512 (2002)), increasing evidence indicates that BMX has diverse modulatory roles in multiple cellular processes (Tu et al., Cancer Res. 68, 2861 (2008); Jiang et al., J. Biol. Chem. 279, 50181 (2004); Kim et al., J. Biol. Chem. 277, 30066 (2002); Bagheri-Yarmand et al., J. Biol. Chem. 276, 29403 (2001); Chau et al., Oncogene 21, 8817 (2002); Semaan et al., J. Immunol. 180, 3485 (2008)). However, the direct downstream targets of BMX remain elusive, and substrate motifs for BMX and other Tec kinases have not been identified.

SUMMARY OF THE INVENTION

The present invention is based, at least in part, on the discovery that BMX functions to amplify tyrosine kinase signaling by phosphorylation of kinase domain pYY sites. The initial priming tyrosine phosphorylation may be mediated by autophosphorylation in response to hormone binding or by other kinases (such as SRC for FAK). BMX may be recruited through its SH2 domain and mediate transphosphorylation to achieve full activation. While acute downregulation of BMX may suppress multiple signal transduction pathways, downstream signaling may be enhanced in response to some stimuli. Therefore, BMX inhibitors may be useful in treating and/or preventing a range of proliferative diseases (e.g., cancers, benign neoplasms, angiogenesis, inflammatory diseases, and autoimmune diseases) that are associated with increased tyrosine kinase signaling. Conversely, chronic exposure to BMX inhibitors may also enhance signaling downstream of some receptor tyrosine kinases and may be efficacious in treating and/or preventing diseases associated with insulin resistance (e.g., diabetes (e.g., type 2 diabetes and gestational diabetes)). The present invention provides BMX inhibitors, and pharmaceutical compositions thereof, as well as methods of using and preparing the inventive BMX inhibitors.

Definitions of specific functional groups and chemical terms are described in more detail below. The chemical elements are identified in accordance with the Periodic Table of the Elements, CAS version, Handbook of Chemistry and Physics, 75^(th) Ed., inside cover, and specific functional groups are generally defined as described therein. Additionally, general principles of organic chemistry, as well as specific functional moieties and reactivity, are described in Thomas Sorrell, Organic Chemistry, University Science Books, Sausalito, 1999; Smith and March, March's Advanced Organic Chemistry, 5^(th) Edition, John Wiley & Sons, Inc., New York, 2001; Larock, Comprehensive Organic Transformations, VCH Publishers, Inc., New York, 1989; and Carruthers, Some Modern Methods of Organic Synthesis, 3^(rd) Edition, Cambridge University Press, Cambridge, 1987.

Compounds of Formula (I) or (II) can comprise one or more asymmetric centers, and thus can exist in various isomeric forms, e.g., enantiomers and/or diastereomers. For example, the compounds of Formula (I) or (II) can be in the form of an individual enantiomer, diastereomer or geometric isomer, or can be in the form of a mixture of stereoisomers, including racemic mixtures and mixtures enriched in one or more stereoisomer. Isomers can be isolated from mixtures by methods known to those skilled in the art, including chiral high pressure liquid chromatography (HPLC) and the formation and crystallization of chiral salts; or preferred isomers can be prepared by asymmetric syntheses. See, for example, Jacques et al., Enantiomers, Racemates and Resolutions (Wiley Interscience, New York, 1981); Wilen et al., Tetrahedron 33:2725 (1977); Eliel, Stereochemistry of Carbon Compounds (McGraw-Hill, N Y, 1962); and Wilen, Tables of Resolving Agents and Optical Resolutions p. 268 (E. L. Eliel, Ed., Univ. of Notre Dame Press, Notre Dame, Ind. 1972).

Unless otherwise indicated, a “substituted” group has a substituent at one or more substitutable positions of the group, and when more than one position in any given structure is substituted, the substituent is either the same or different at each position. The term “substituted” is contemplated to include substitution with all permissible substituents of organic compounds, any of the substituents described herein that results in the formation of a stable compound. The present invention contemplates any and all such combinations in order to arrive at a stable compound. For purposes of this invention, heteroatoms such as nitrogen may have hydrogen substituents and/or any suitable substituent as described herein which satisfy the valencies of the heteroatoms and results in the formation of a stable moiety.

As used herein, the term “leaving group” is given its ordinary meaning in the art of synthetic organic chemistry and refers to an atom or a group capable of being displaced by a nucleophile. Examples of suitable leaving groups include, but are not limited to, halogen (such as F, C₁, Br, or I (iodine)), alkoxycarbonyloxy, aryloxycarbonyloxy, alkanesulfonyloxy, arenesulfonyloxy, alkyl-carbonyloxy (e.g., acetoxy), arylcarbonyloxy, aryloxy, alkoxy, N,O-dimethylhydroxylamino, pixyl, and haloformates. In certain embodiments, the leaving group is —OS(═O)_(r)R^(z1); wherein R^(z1) is selected from the group consisting of optionally substituted alkyl, optionally substituted alkenyl, optionally substituted alkynyl, optionally substituted carbocyclyl, optionally substituted heterocyclyl, optionally substituted aryl, and optionally substituted heteroaryl; and r is 1 or 2. In some cases, the leaving group is a sulfonic acid ester, such as toluenesulfonate (tosylate, -OTs), methanesulfonate (mesylate, -OMs), p-bromobenzenesulfonyloxy (brosylate, -OBs), or trifluoromethanesulfonate (triflate, -OTf). In some cases, the leaving group is a brosylate, such asp-bromobenzenesulfonyloxy. In some cases, the leaving group is a nosylate, such as 2-nitrobenzenesulfonyloxy. In some embodiments, the leaving group is a sulfonate-containing group. In some embodiments, the leaving group is a tosylate group. The leaving group may also be a phosphineoxide (e.g., formed during a Mitsunobu reaction) or an internal leaving group such as an epoxide or cyclic sulfate. Other non-limiting examples of leaving groups are water, ammonia, alcohols, ether moieties, thioether moieties, zinc halides, magnesium moieties, diazonium salts, and copper moieties.

These and other exemplary substituents are described in more detail in the Detailed Description, Figures, Examples, and Claims. The invention is not intended to be limited in any manner by the above exemplary listing of substituents.

Other Definitions

The following definitions are more general terms used throughout the present application:

As used herein, the term “pharmaceutically acceptable salt” refers to those salts which are, within the scope of sound medical judgment, suitable for use in contact with the tissues of humans and lower animals without undue toxicity, irritation, allergic response and the like, and are commensurate with a reasonable benefit/risk ratio. Pharmaceutically acceptable salts are well known in the art. For example, Berge et al., describe pharmaceutically acceptable salts in detail in J. Pharmaceutical Sciences, 1977, 66, 1-19, incorporated herein by reference. Pharmaceutically acceptable salts of the compounds of this invention include those derived from suitable inorganic and organic acids and bases. Examples of pharmaceutically acceptable, nontoxic acid addition salts are salts of an amino group formed with inorganic acids such as hydrochloric acid, hydrobromic acid, phosphoric acid, sulfuric acid, and perchloric acid or with organic acids such as acetic acid, oxalic acid, maleic acid, tartaric acid, citric acid, succinic acid, or malonic acid or by using other methods known in the art such as ion exchange. Other pharmaceutically acceptable salts include adipate, alginate, ascorbate, aspartate, benzenesulfonate, benzoate, bisulfate, borate, butyrate, camphorate, camphorsulfonate, citrate, cyclopentanepropionate, digluconate, dodecylsulfate, ethanesulfonate, formate, fumarate, glucoheptonate, glycerophosphate, gluconate, hemisulfate, heptanoate, hexanoate, hydroiodide, 2-hydroxy-ethanesulfonate, lactobionate, lactate, laurate, lauryl sulfate, malate, maleate, malonate, methanesulfonate, 2-naphthalenesulfonate, nicotinate, nitrate, oleate, oxalate, palmitate, pamoate, pectinate, persulfate, 3-phenylpropionate, phosphate, picrate, pivalate, propionate, stearate, succinate, sulfate, tartrate, thiocyanate, p-toluenesulfonate, undecanoate, valerate salts, and the like. Salts derived from appropriate bases include alkali metal, alkaline earth metal, ammonium and N⁺(C₁₋₄ alkyl)₄ ⁻ salts. Representative alkali or alkaline earth metal salts include sodium, lithium, potassium, calcium, magnesium, and the like. Further pharmaceutically acceptable salts include, when appropriate, nontoxic ammonium, quaternary ammonium, and amine cations formed using counterions such as halide, hydroxide, carboxylate, sulfate, phosphate, nitrate, loweralkyl sulfonate, and aryl sulfonate.

The term “solvate” refers to forms of the compound that are associated with a solvent, usually by a solvolysis reaction. This physical association may include hydrogen bonding. Conventional solvents include water, methanol, ethanol, acetic acid, DMSO, THF, diethyl ether, and the like. The compounds of Formula (I) or (II) may be prepared, e.g., in crystalline form, and may be solvated. Suitable solvates include pharmaceutically acceptable solvates and further include both stoichiometric solvates and non-stoichiometric solvates. In certain instances, the solvate will be capable of isolation, for example, when one or more solvent molecules are incorporated in the crystal lattice of a crystalline solid. “Solvate” encompasses both solution-phase and isolable solvates. Representative solvates include hydrates, ethanolates, and methanolates.

The term “hydrate” refers to a compound which is associated with water. Typically, the number of the water molecules contained in a hydrate of a compound is in a definite ratio to the number of the compound molecules in the hydrate. Therefore, a hydrate of a compound may be represented, for example, by the general formula R.x H₂O, wherein R is the compound and wherein x is a number greater than 0. A given compound may form more than one type of hydrates, including, e.g., monohydrates (x is 1), lower hydrates (x is a number greater than 0 and smaller than 1, e.g., hemihydrates (R.0.5 H₂O)), and polyhydrates (x is a number greater than 1, e.g., dihydrates (R.2 H₂O) and hexahydrates (R.6 H₂O)).

The term “tautomers” refer to compounds that are interchangeable forms of a particular compound structure, and that vary in the displacement of hydrogen atoms and electrons. Thus, two structures may be in equilibrium through the movement of x electrons and an atom (usually H). For example, enols and ketones are tautomers because they are rapidly interconverted by treatment with either acid or base. Another example of tautomerism is the aci- and nitro-forms of phenylnitromethane, that are likewise formed by treatment with acid or base. Tautomeric forms may be relevant to the attainment of the optimal chemical reactivity and biological activity of a compound of interest.

It is also to be understood that compounds that have the same molecular formula but differ in the nature or sequence of bonding of their atoms or the arrangement of their atoms in space are termed “isomers.” Isomers that differ in the arrangement of their atoms in space are termed “stereoisomers”.

Stereoisomers that are not mirror images of one another are termed “diastereomers” and those that are non-superimposable mirror images of each other are termed “enantiomers”. When a compound has an asymmetric center, for example, it is bonded to four different groups, a pair of enantiomers is possible. An enantiomer can be characterized by the absolute configuration of its asymmetric center and is described by the R- and S-sequencing rules of Cahn and Prelog, or by the manner in which the molecule rotates the plane of polarized light and designated as dextrorotatory or levorotatory (i.e., as (+) or (−)-isomers respectively). A chiral compound can exist as either individual enantiomer or as a mixture thereof. A mixture containing equal proportions of the enantiomers is called a “racemic mixture”.

The term “polymorphs” refers to a crystalline form of a compound (or a salt, hydrate, or solvate thereof) in a particular crystal packing arrangement. All polymorphs have the same elemental composition. Different crystalline forms usually have different X-ray diffraction patterns, infrared spectra, melting points, density, hardness, crystal shape, optical and electrical properties, stability, and solubility. Recrystallization solvent, rate of crystallization, storage temperature, and other factors may cause one crystal form to dominate. Various polymorphs of a compound can be prepared by crystallization under different conditions.

The term “prodrugs” refer to compounds, including derivatives of the compounds of Formula (I) or (II), which have cleavable groups and become by solvolysis or under physiological conditions the compounds of Formula (I) or (II), which are pharmaceutically active in vivo. Such examples include, but are not limited to, choline ester derivatives and the like, N-alkylmorpholine esters and the like. Other derivatives of the compounds of this invention have activity in both their acid and acid derivative forms, but in the acid sensitive form often offers advantages of solubility, tissue compatibility, or delayed release in the mammalian organism (see, Bundgard, H., Design of Prodrugs, pp. 7-9, 21-24, Elsevier, Amsterdam 1985). Prodrugs include acid derivatives well known to practitioners of the art, such as, for example, esters prepared by reaction of the parent acid with a suitable alcohol, or amides prepared by reaction of the parent acid compound with a substituted or unsubstituted amine, or acid anhydrides, or mixed anhydrides. Simple aliphatic or aromatic esters, amides and anhydrides derived from acidic groups pendant on the compounds of this invention are particular prodrugs. In some cases it is desirable to prepare double ester type prodrugs such as (acyloxy)alkyl esters or ((alkoxycarbonyl)oxy)alkylesters. Particularly the C₁-C₈ alkyl, C₂-C₈ alkenyl, C₂-C₈ alkynyl, aryl, C₇-C₁₂ substituted aryl, and C₇-C₁₂ arylalkyl esters of the compounds of Formula (I).

A “subject” to which administration is contemplated includes, but is not limited to, humans (i.e., a male or female of any age group, e.g., a pediatric subject (e.g., infant, child, adolescent) or adult subject (e.g., young adult, middle-aged adult, or senior adult)) and/or other non-human animals, for example, mammals (e.g., primates (e.g., cynomolgus monkeys, rhesus monkeys); commercially relevant mammals such as cattle, pigs, horses, sheep, goats, cats, and/or dogs) and birds (e.g., commercially relevant birds such as chickens, ducks, geese, and/or turkeys). In certain embodiments, the animal is a mammal. The animal may be a male or female and at any stage of development. A non-human animal may be a transgenic animal.

The terms “administer,” “administering,” or “administration,” as used herein refers to implanting, absorbing, ingesting, injecting, or inhaling an inventive compound, or a pharmaceutical composition thereof.

As used herein, the terms “treatment,” “treat,” and “treating” refer to reversing, alleviating, delaying the onset of, or inhibiting the progress of a “pathological condition” (e.g., a disease, disorder, or condition, or one or more signs or symptoms thereof) described herein. In some embodiments, treatment may be administered after one or more signs or symptoms have developed or have been observed. In other embodiments, treatment may be administered in the absence of signs or symptoms of the disease or condition. For example, treatment may be administered to a susceptible individual prior to the onset of symptoms (e.g., in light of a history of symptoms and/or in light of genetic or other susceptibility factors). Treatment may also be continued after symptoms have resolved, for example, to delay or prevent recurrence.

As used herein, the terms “condition,” “disease,” and “disorder” are used interchangeably.

An “effective amount” of a compound of Formula (I) or (II) refers to an amount sufficient to elicit the desired biological response, i.e., treating the condition. As will be appreciated by those of ordinary skill in this art, the effective amount of a compound of Formula (I) or (II) may vary depending on such factors as the desired biological endpoint, the pharmacokinetics of the compound, the condition being treated, the mode of administration, and the age and health of the subject. An effective amount encompasses therapeutic and prophylactic treatment. For example, in treating cancer, an effective amount of an inventive compound may reduce the tumor burden or stop the growth or spread of a tumor.

A “therapeutically effective amount” of a compound of Formula (I) or (II) is an amount sufficient to provide a therapeutic benefit in the treatment of a condition or to delay or minimize one or more symptoms associated with the condition. A therapeutically effective amount of a compound means an amount of therapeutic agent, alone or in combination with other therapies, which provides a therapeutic benefit in the treatment of the condition. The term “therapeutically effective amount” can encompass an amount that improves overall therapy, reduces or avoids symptoms or causes of the condition, or enhances the therapeutic efficacy of another therapeutic agent.

A “prophylactically effective amount” of a compound of Formula (I) or (H) is an amount sufficient to prevent a condition, or one or more symptoms associated with the condition or prevent its recurrence. A prophylactically effective amount of a compound means an amount of a therapeutic agent, alone or in combination with other agents, which provides a prophylactic benefit in the prevention of the condition. The term “prophylactically effective amount” can encompass an amount that improves overall prophylaxis or enhances the prophylactic efficacy of another prophylactic agent.

A “proliferative disease” refers to a disease that occurs due to abnormal growth or extension by the multiplication of cells (Walker, Cambridge Dictionary of Biology; Cambridge University Press: Cambridge, UK, 1990). A proliferative disease may be associated with: 1) the pathological proliferation of normally quiescent cells; 2) the pathological migration of cells from their normal location (e.g., metastasis of neoplastic cells); 3) the pathological expression of proteolytic enzymes such as the matrix metalloproteinases (e.g., collagenases, gelatinases, and elastases); or 4) the pathological angiogenesis as in proliferative retinopathy and tumor metastasis. Exemplary proliferative diseases include cancers (i.e., “malignant neoplasms”), benign neoplasms, angiogenesis, inflammatory diseases, and autoimmune diseases.

The terms “neoplasm” and “tumor” are used herein interchangeably and refer to an abnormal mass of tissue wherein the growth of the mass surpasses and is not coordinated with the growth of a normal tissue. A neoplasm or tumor may be “benign” or “malignant,” depending on the following characteristics: degree of cellular differentiation (including morphology and functionality), rate of growth, local invasion, and metastasis. A “benign neoplasm” is generally well differentiated, has characteristically slower growth than a malignant neoplasm, and remains localized to the site of origin. In addition, a benign neoplasm does not have the capacity to infiltrate, invade, or metastasize to distant sites. Exemplary benign neoplasms include, but are not limited to, lipoma, chondroma, adenomas, acrochordon, senile angiomas, seborrheic keratoses, lentigos, and sebaceous hyperplasias. In some cases, certain “benign” tumors may later give rise to malignant neoplasms, which may result from additional genetic changes in a subpopulation of the tumor's neoplastic cells, and these tumors are referred to as “pre-malignant neoplasms.” An exemplary pre-malignant neoplasm is a teratoma. In contrast, a “malignant neoplasm” is generally poorly differentiated (anaplasia) and has characteristically rapid growth accompanied by progressive infiltration, invasion, and destruction of the surrounding tissue. Furthermore, a malignant neoplasm generally has the capacity to metastasize to distant sites.

The term “metastasis,” “metastatic,” or “metastasize” refers to the spread or migration of cancerous cells from a primary or original tumor to another organ or tissue and is typically identifiable by the presence of a “secondary tumor” or “secondary cell mass” of the tissue type of the primary or original tumor and not of that of the organ or tissue in which the secondary (metastatic) tumor is located. For example, a prostate cancer that has migrated to bone is said to be metastasized prostate cancer and includes cancerous prostate cancer cells growing in bone tissue.

As used herein, the term “cancer” refers to a malignant neoplasm (Stedman's Medical Dictionary, 25th ed.; Hensyl ed.; Williams & Wilkins: Philadelphia, 1990). Exemplary cancers include, but are not limited to, acoustic neuroma; adenocarcinoma; adrenal gland cancer; anal cancer; angiosarcoma (e.g., lymphangiosarcoma, lymphangioendotheliosarcoma, hemangiosarcoma); appendix cancer; benign monoclonal gammopathy; biliary cancer (e.g., cholangiocarcinoma); bladder cancer; breast cancer (e.g., adenocarcinoma of the breast, papillary carcinoma of the breast, mammary cancer, medullary carcinoma of the breast); brain cancer (e.g., meningioma, glioblastomas, glioma (e.g., astrocytoma, oligodendroglioma), medulloblastoma); bronchus cancer; carcinoid tumor; cervical cancer (e.g., cervical adenocarcinoma); choriocarcinoma; chordoma; craniopharyngioma; colorectal cancer (e.g., colon cancer, rectal cancer, colorectal adenocarcinoma); connective tissue cancer; epithelial carcinoma; ependymoma; endotheliosarcoma (e.g., Kaposi's sarcoma, multiple idiopathic hemorrhagic sarcoma); endometrial cancer (e.g., uterine cancer, uterine sarcoma); esophageal cancer (e.g., adenocarcinoma of the esophagus, Barrett's adenocarinoma); Ewing's sarcoma; eye cancer (e.g., intraocular melanoma, retinoblastoma); familiar hypereosinophilia; gall bladder cancer; gastric cancer (e.g., stomach adenocarcinoma); gastrointestinal stromal tumor (GIST); germ cell cancer; head and neck cancer (e.g., head and neck squamous cell carcinoma, oral cancer (e.g., oral squamous cell carcinoma), throat cancer (e.g., laryngeal cancer, pharyngeal cancer, nasopharyngeal cancer, oropharyngeal cancer)); hematopoietic cancers (e.g., leukemia such as acute lymphocytic leukemia (ALL) (e.g., B-cell ALL, T-cell ALL), acute myelocytic leukemia (AML) (e.g., B-cell AML, T-cell AML), chronic myelocytic leukemia (CML) (e.g., B-cell CML, T-cell CML), and chronic lymphocytic leukemia (CLL) (e.g., B-cell CLL, T-cell CLL)); lymphoma such as Hodgkin lymphoma (HL) (e.g., B-cell HL, T-cell HL) and non-Hodgkin lymphoma (NHL) (e.g., B-cell NHL such as diffuse large cell lymphoma (DLCL) (e.g., diffuse large B-cell lymphoma), follicular lymphoma, chronic lymphocytic leukemia/small lymphocytic lymphoma (CLL/SLL), mantle cell lymphoma (MCL), marginal zone B-cell lymphomas (e.g., mucosa-associated lymphoid tissue (MALT) lymphomas, nodal marginal zone B-cell lymphoma, splenic marginal zone B-cell lymphoma), primary mediastinal B-cell lymphoma, Burkitt lymphoma, lymphoplasmacytic lymphoma (i.e., Waldenstrom's macroglobulinemia), hairy cell leukemia (HCL), immunoblastic large cell lymphoma, precursor B-lymphoblastic lymphoma and primary central nervous system (CNS) lymphoma; and T-cell NHL such as precursor T-lymphoblastic lymphoma/leukemia, peripheral T-cell lymphoma (PTCL) (e.g., cutaneous T-cell lymphoma (CTCL) (e.g., mycosis fungiodes, Sezary syndrome), angioimmunoblastic T-cell lymphoma, extranodal natural killer T-cell lymphoma, enteropathy type T-cell lymphoma, subcutaneous panniculitis-like T-cell lymphoma, and anaplastic large cell lymphoma); a mixture of one or more leukemia/lymphoma as described above; and multiple myeloma (MM)), heavy chain disease (e.g., alpha chain disease, gamma chain disease, mu chain disease); hemangioblastoma; hypopharynx cancer; inflammatory myofibroblastic tumors; immunocytic amyloidosis; kidney cancer (e.g., nephroblastoma a.k.a.

The term “angiogenesis” refers to the formation and the growth of new blood vessels. Normal angiogenesis occurs in the healthy body of a subject for healing wounds and for restoring blood flow to tissues after injury. The healthy body controls angiogenesis through a number of means, e.g., angiogenesis-stimulating growth factors and angiogenesis inhibitors. Many disease states, such as cancer, diabetic blindness, age-related macular degeneration, rheumatoid arthritis, and psoriasis, are characterized by abnormal (i.e., increased or excessive) angiogenesis. Abnormal angiogenesis refers to angiogenesis greater than that in a normal body, especially angiogenesis in an adult not related to normal angiogenesis (e.g., menstruation or wound healing). Abnormal angiogenesis can provide new blood vessels that feed diseased tissues and/or destroy normal tissues, and in the case of cancer, the new vessels can allow tumor cells to escape into the circulation and lodge in other organs (tumor metastases).

As used herein, an “inflammatory disease” refers to a disease caused by, resulting from, or resulting in inflammation. The term “inflammatory disease” may also refer to a dysregulated inflammatory reaction that causes an exaggerated response by macrophages, granulocytes, and/or T-lymphocytes leading to abnormal tissue damage and/or cell death. An inflammatory disease can be either an acute or chronic inflammatory condition and can result from infections or non-infectious causes. Inflammatory diseases include, without limitation, atherosclerosis, arteriosclerosis, autoimmune disorders, multiple sclerosis, systemic lupus erythematosus, polymyalgia rheumatica (PMR), gouty arthritis, degenerative arthritis, tendonitis, bursitis, psoriasis, cystic fibrosis, arthrosteitis, rheumatoid arthritis, inflammatory arthritis, Sjogren's syndrome, giant cell arteritis, progressive systemic sclerosis (scleroderma), ankylosing spondylitis, polymyositis, dermatomyosifis, pemphigus, pemphigoid, diabetes (e.g., Type I), myasthenia gravis, Hashimoto's thyroditis, Graves' disease, Goodpasture's disease, mixed connective tissue disease, sclerosing cholangitis, inflammatory bowel disease, Crohn's disease, ulcerative colitis, pernicious anemia, inflammatory dermatoses, usual interstitial pneumonitis (UIP), asbestosis, silicosis, bronchiectasis, berylliosis, talcosis, pneumoconiosis, sarcoidosis, desquamative interstitial pneumonia, lymphoid interstitial pneumonia, giant cell interstitial pneumonia, cellular interstitial pneumonia, extrinsic allergic alveolitis, Wegener's granulomatosis and related forms of angiitis (temporal arteritis and polyarteritis nodosa), inflammatory dermatoses, hepatitis, delayed-type hypersensitivity reactions (e.g., poison ivy dermatitis), pneumonia, respiratory tract inflammation, Adult Respiratory Distress Syndrome (ARDS), encephalitis, immediate hypersensitivity reactions, asthma, hayfever, allergies, acute anaphylaxis, rheumatic fever, glomerulonephritis, pyelonephritis, cellulitis, cystitis, chronic cholecystitis, ischemia (ischemic injury), reperfusion injury, allograft rejection, host-versus-graft rejection, appendicitis, arteritis, blepharitis, bronchiolitis, bronchitis, cervicitis, cholangitis, chorioamnionitis, conjunctivitis, dacryoadenitis, dermatomyositis, endocarditis, endometritis, enteritis, enterocolitis, epicondylitis, epididymitis, fasciitis, fibrositis, gastritis, gastroenteritis, gingivitis, ileitis, iritis, laryngitis, myelitis, myocarditis, nephritis, omphalitis, oophoritis, orchitis, osteitis, otitis, pancreatitis, parotitis, pericarditis, pharyngitis, pleuritis, phlebitis, pneumonitis, proctitis, prostatitis, rhinitis, salpingitis, sinusitis, stomatitis, synovitis, testitis, tonsillitis, urethritis, urocystitis, uveitis, vaginitis, vasculitis, vulvitis, vulvovaginitis, angitis, chronic bronchitis, osteomylitis, optic neuritis, temporal arteritis, transverse myelitis, necrotizing fascilitis, and necrotizing enterocolitis.

As used herein, an “autoimmune disease” refers to a disease arising from an inappropriate immune response of the body of a subject against substances and tissues normally present in the body. In other words, the immune system mistakes some part of the body as a pathogen and attacks its own cells. This may be restricted to certain organs (e.g., in autoimmune thyroiditis) or involve a particular tissue in different places (e.g., Goodpasture's disease which may affect the basement membrane in both the lung and kidney). The treatment of autoimmune diseases is typically with immunosuppression, e.g., medications that decrease the immune response. Exemplary autoimmune diseases include, but are not limited to, glomerulonephritis, Goodspature's syndrome, necrotizing vasculitis, lymphadenitis, peri-arteritis nodosa, systemic lupus erythematosis, rheumatoid, arthritis, psoriatic arthritis, systemic lupus erythematosis, psoriasis, ulcerative colitis, systemic sclerosis, dermatomyositis/polymyositis, anti-phospholipid antibody syndrome, scleroderma, perphigus vulgaris, ANCA-associated vasculitis (e.g., Wegener's granulomatosis, microscopic polyangiitis), urveitis, Sjogren's syndrome, Crohn's disease, Reiter's syndrome, ankylosing spondylitis, Lyme arthritis, GuillainBarre syndrome, Hashimoto's thyroiditis, and cardiomyopathy.

As used herein, “diabetes,” or “diabetes mellitus,” is a group of metabolic diseases in which a subject has high blood sugar levels, either because the body of the subject does not produce enough insulin, or because cells in the body do not respond to the insulin that is produced by the body. These high blood sugar levels produce the classical symptoms of polyuria (frequent urination), polydipsia (increased thirst), and polyphagia (increased hunger). There are three main types of diabetes. Type 1 diabetes results from the body's failure to produce insulin and presently requires the subject to be administered insulin. Insulin resistance also plays a role in the type 1 diabetes disease process. For example, the onset of type 1 diabetes is often heralded by an antecedent illness and/or the onset of puberty, both conditions associated with insulin resistance. Type 2 diabetes results from insulin resistance, a condition in which cells fail to use insulin properly, sometimes combined with an absolute insulin deficiency. Some women develop gestational diabetes, a third type of diabetes, in the middle to late stages of pregnancy. Gestational diabetes is typically caused by the hormones of pregnancy or a shortage of insulin. Decreased maternal pregravid insulin sensitivity (insulin resistance) coupled with an inadequate insulin response are the chief pathophysiological mechanisms underlying the development of gestational diabetes.

The term “biological sample” refers to any sample including tissue samples (such as tissue sections and needle biopsies of a tissue); cell samples (e.g., cytological smears (such as Pap or blood smears) or samples of cells obtained by microdissection); samples of whole organisms (such as samples of yeasts or bacteria); or cell fractions, fragments or organelles (such as obtained by lysing cells and separating the components thereof by centrifugation or otherwise). Other examples of biological samples include blood, serum, urine, semen, fecal matter, cerebrospinal fluid, interstitial fluid, mucous, tears, sweat, pus, biopsied tissue (e.g., obtained by a surgical biopsy or needle biopsy), nipple aspirates, milk, vaginal fluid, saliva, swabs (such as buccal swabs), or any material containing biomolecules that is derived from a first biological sample. Biological samples also include those non-human biological samples that are transgenic, such as transgenic non-human oocyte, sperm cell, blastocyst, embryo, fetus, donor cell, or cell nucleus.

A “protein” or “peptide” comprises a polymer of amino acid residues linked together by peptide bonds. The term, as used herein, refers to proteins, polypeptides, and peptide of any size, structure, or function. Typically, a protein will be at least three amino acids long. A protein may refer to an individual protein or a collection of proteins. Inventive proteins preferably contain only natural amino acids, although non-natural amino acids (i.e., compounds that do not occur in nature but that can be incorporated into a polypeptide chain) and/or amino acid analogs as are known in the art may alternatively be employed. Also, one or more of the amino acids in an inventive protein may be modified, for example, by the addition of a chemical entity such as a carbohydrate group, a hydroxyl group, a phosphate group, a farnesyl group, an isofarnesyl group, a fatty acid group, a linker for conjugation or functionalization, or other modification. A protein may also be a single molecule or may be a multi-molecular complex. A protein may be just a fragment of a naturally occurring protein or peptide. A protein may be naturally occurring, recombinant, or synthetic, or any combination of these.

As used herein “kinase” refers to a large class of enzymes which catalyze the transfer of the γ-phosphate from ATP to the hydroxyl group on the side chain of Ser/Thr or Tyr in proteins and peptides and are intimately involved in the control of various important cell functions, perhaps most notably: signal transduction, differentiation and proliferation. There are estimated to be about 2,000 distinct protein kinases in the human body and although each of these phosphorylate particular protein/peptide substrates, they all bind the same second substrate ATP in a highly conserved pocket. About 50% of the known oncogene products are protein tyrosine kinases PTKs and their kinase activity has been shown to lead to cell transformation.

Preferably the kinase is a tyrosine kinase. As used herein “tyrosine kinase” refers to an enzyme that phosphorylates a tyrosine residue on a protein using ATP as a substrate. In some embodiments, the tyrosine kinase is a non-receptor tyrosine kinase. The mammalian nonreceptor tyrosine kinases (NRTKs) are divided into ten families: Src, Abl, Jak, Ack, Csk, Fak, Fes, Frk, Tec, and Syk. In addition to their tyrosine kinase catalytic domains, they all contain noncatalytic domains that are important in enzyme regulation and substrate recognition. Like all eukaryotic protein kinases, NRTK catalytic domains have an N-terminal lobe (N-lobe) that contacts ATP, and a larger C-terminal lobe (C-lobe). The activation state of the tyrosine kinases depends on the orientation of an alpha helix (aC) located in the N-lobe. In the active conformation, the aC helix projects inward toward the ATP-binding site. The conformation of a flexible segment in the C-lobe (the activation loop) also has a key role in the regulation of the enzyme activity. The regulatory importance of the phosphorylation of the activation loop varies in the different families of NRTKs.

The Tec kinases represent the second largest family of mammalian non-receptor tyrosine kinases and are distinguished by the presence of distinct proline-rich regions and pleckstrin homology domains that are required for proper regualtion and activation. TEC kinases include five family members: TEC, BTK, ITK (also known as TSK), RLK (also known as TXK) and BMX.

Tec kinase participates as a signal transducer in multiple downstream pathways, including regulation of the actin cytoskekleton. It plays a redundant role to ITK in regulation of the adaptive immune response. It also regulates the development, function and differentiation of conventional T-cells and nonconventional NKT-cells, and is involved in both growth and differentiation mechanisms of myeloid cells through activation by the granulocyte colony-stimulating factor (GCSF)3. Tec is involved in G protein-coupled receptor- and integrin-mediated signalings in blood platelets, and also plays a role in hepatocyte proliferation and liver regeneration.

Bruton's tyrosine kinase (BTK) is a key signaling enzyme expressed in all hematopoietic cells types except T lymphocytes and natural killer cells. BTK plays an essential role in the B cell signaling pathway linking cell surface B cell receptor BCR stimulation to downstream intracellular responses. BTK is a key regulator of B cell development activation signaling and survival (Kurosaki, Curr Op Imm, 2000, 276-281; Schaeffer and Schwartzberg, Curr Op Imm, 2000, 282-288). In addition BTK plays a role in a number of other hematopoietic cell signaling pathways, e.g., Toll like receptor (TLR) and cytokine receptor-mediated TNF-α production in macrophages, IgE receptor (FcepsilonRI) signaling in mast cells, inhibition of Fas/APO-1 apoptotic signaling in B-lineage lymphoid cells, and collagen stimulated platelet aggregation. See e.g., C. A. Jeffries, et al. (2003) Journal of Biological Chemistry, 278:26258-26264; N. J. Horwood, et al. (2003) The Journal of Experimental Medicine 197:1603-1611; Iwaki et al. (2005) Joumal of Biological Chemistry 280(48): 40261-40270; Vassilev et al. (1999) Journal ofBiological Chemistry 274(3): 1646-1656; and Quek et al. (1998) Current Biology, 8 (20): 1137-1140.

Interleukin-2 tyrosine kinase (ITK) is expressed in T mast cells and natural killer cells. It is activated in T cells upon stimulation of the T cell receptor (TCR) and in mast cells upon activation of the high affinity IgE receptor. Following receptor stimulation in T cells, Lck, a src tyrosine family member phosphorylates Y511 in the kinase domain activation loop of Itk (S. D. Heyeck et al. (1997) J. Biol. Chem. 272, 25401-25408). Activated Itk together with Zap-70 is required for phosphorylation and activation of PLC-gamma (S. C. Bunnell et al. (2000) J. Biol. Chem. 275: 2219-2230). PLC-gamma catalyzes the formation of inositol 1,4, 5-triphosphate and diacylglycerol, leading to calcium mobilization and PKC activation, respectively. These events activate numerous downstream pathways and lead ultimately degranulation (mast cells) and cytokine gene expression (T cells) (Y. Kawakami et al. (1999) J. Leukocyte Biol., 65:286-290).

Resting lymphocyte kinase (Rlk) displays highly cell type-specific expression largely restricted to T cells and some mast cell and myeloid cell lines. Rlk has src homology (SH)₂ and SH3 domains and a nuclear localization signal sequence but lacks a pleckstrin homology domain. The NH₂ terminus of Rlk in humans possesses an unusual cysteine-rich string, suggesting that Txk/Rlk functions in a manner that differs from the other pleckstrin homology domain-containing Tec family kinases. Rlk is capable of phosphorylating CTL-associated antigen (CTLA)-4, suggesting that Rlk may participate in CTLA-4 function.

Bone Marrow X kinase (BMX) contains an NH₂-terminal pleckstrin homology domain, a Src homology 3 domain, a Src homology 2 domain, and a COOH-terminal tyrosine kinase domain. BMX can be activated by several extracellular stimuli, including growth factors, cytokines, extracellular matrix and hormones. BMX protein is present in cytoplasm with strong perinuclear staining in cells when examined using immunofluorescence microscopy. BMX has been shown to play a role in various cellular processes including cell proliferation, transformation, differentiation, and metastasis.

BRIEF DESCRIPTION OF THE DRAWINGS

FIG. 1D, left panel, depicts the immunoblotting results where 293 cells were cotransfected with MET and BmxWT, BmxKD, or empty vector control plasmids (Ctrl). Whole cell lysates or immunoprecipitated MET were then immunoblotted as indicated with an antibody recognizing MET that has been phosphorylated at tyrosines 1234 and 1235 (pMET Y1234/1235). FIG. 1D, right panel, depicts the immunoblotting results where 293 cells were transfected with BmxWT, BmxKD, or empty vector control plasmids (Ctrl), serum starved for 48 h (SFM) or then HGF stimulated for 10 min, and whole cell lysates were then immunoblotted with antibodies against FAK that has been phosphorylated at tyrosines 576 and 577 (pFAK Y576/577), or antibodies against FAK that has just been phosphorylated at tyrosine 576 (pFAK Y576) or tyrosine 577 (pFAK Y577). FIG. 1E, left panel, depicts the immunoblotting results where 293 cells were cotransfected with 3×Flag-FAK and BmxWT, BmxKD, or empty vector control plasmids (Ctrl). Whole cell lysates or Flag-immunoprecipitated FAK were then immunoblotted with antibodies against FAK that has been phosphorylated at tyrosines 576 and 577 (pFAK Y576/577), or antibodies against FAK that has just been phosphorylated at tyrosine 576 (pFAK Y576) or tyrosine 577 (pFAK Y577). FIG. 1E, right panel, depicts the immunoblotting results where 293 cells were transfected with BmxWT, BmxKD, or empty vector control plasmids (Ctrl), serum starved for 48 h (SFM) or then serum stimulated for 10 min (FBS), and whole cell lysates were then immunoblotted.

Whole cell lysates or Myc-immunoprecipitated ACK1 were then immunoblotted.

FIGS. 2A to 2D show that FAK is phosphorylated by BMX at Y577. Recombinant SRC-phosphorylated FAK was phosphorylated in vitro with recombinant BmxWT or BmxKD and analyzed by mass spectrometry. Phosphopeptides detected in the BmxWT sample are shown in FIG. 2A. FIG. 2B is a mass spectrometry spectrum for pY576/Y577 dual phosphorylated peptide. FIG. 2C is a bar graph showing the relative phosphorylated peptide signal levels in the BmxWT vs. BmxKD samples quantified using isotope-free LC/MS/MS method. Shown in FIG. 2D are immunoblotting results where 293 cells were cotransfected with BmxKD or BmxWT plasmids and wildtype or indicated mutant FAK vectors, and whole cell lysates were immunoblotted with pY576/577 antibody (weak reactivity with Y576A and Y577A mutants may reflect endogenous FAK). The results of FIG. 2D establish the specificity of the pFAK Y576/577 antibody.

FIGS. 3A to 3I demonstrate that BMX regulates FAK through phosphorylation of Y576/577 site. FIGS. 3A to 3B show the immunoblotting results where BMX (SiBMX) or control siRNA (SiCtrl) transfected LNCaP cells (FIG. 3A) or VCS2 cells (FIG. 3B) were serum starved for 72 h, serum was stimulated for the indicated times, and the whole cell lysates were immunoblotted. FIG. 3C shows the immunoblotting results where BMX (SiBMX) or control siRNA (SiCtrl) transfected VCS2 cells were serum starved for 72 h, trypsinized, and kept in suspension for 1 h followed by plating onto fibronectin (FN)-coated dishes for the indicated times.

FIG. 3F shows the immunostaining results where scratch wounds were introduced into BmxWT or BmxKD transfected COS7 cells, and pictures of the leading edge were taken after 3 h. FIG. 3G is a bar graph showing the migrated distances where scratch wounds were introduced into confluent heterozygous for Bmx (Bmx^(+/−)), Bmx⁺, or Bmx⁻ MEFs, and the leading edges were photographed at 0 and 9 h. The migrated distance was measured and normalized to #1 Bmx⁻ group. Error bars depict standard error (SE) for three experiments (***: p<0.001). FIG. 3H is a bar graph showing the migrated distances where scratch wounds were introduced into confluent Bmx⁻ MEFs stably overexpressing BmxWT, BmxKD, or empty vector (EV), and the leading edges were photographed at 0 and 9 h.

FIG. 3I is a bar graph showing the migrated distances where Bmx⁻ MEF cells stably overexpressing BmxWT were preincubated with FAK inhibitor (PF562271) for 4 h. Scratch wounds were introduced into the cells, and the leading edges were photographed at 0 and 9 h. The migrated distance was measured and normalized to control group (Ctrl). Error bars depict standard error (SE) for three experiments (***: p<0.001).

FIGS. 4A to 4H illustrate that BMX regulates insulin receptor (IR) phosphorylation and signaling. FIG. 4A shows the immunoblotting results where LNCaP cells transfected with BMX (SiBmx) or nontargeting control siRNA (SiCtrl) were serum starved for 12 h, stimulated with insulin (100 nM) (Ins) for 0-30 minutes, and immunoblotted with IR pY1189/Y1190 or pY1185 antibody. FIG. 4B shows the immunoblotting results where Bmx⁺ and Bmx⁻ MEFs were serum starved for 48 h and stimulated with insulin for 10 min, and whole cell lysates were immunoblotted. FIG. 4C shows the immunoblotting results where whole cell lysates from independent Bmx⁺ and Bmxr MEF cell lines or livers were blotted. FIGS. 4D to 4G: following an overnight fast, 8-10 months old Bmx⁺ and Bmxr mice were injected intraperitoneally with 2 g/kg glucose. Liver was harvested after 15 min, and lysates were immunoblotted (FIG. 4D). GSK pS9 and S6 pSer235,236 signals were quantified and normalized to actin (FIG. 4E). Blood glucose (FIG. 4F) and insulin levels (FIG. 4G) were measured at indicated times. FIG. 4H: following 4 h fast, 8-10-month old Bmx⁺ and Bmx⁻ mice were injected with insulin (0.75 U/kg), and blood glucose was measure at indicated times.

FIG. 5 shows in vitro kinase reactions on purified 3×Flag-BmxWT and 3×Flag-BmxKD proteins. Left panel: Coomassie Briliant Blue staining. Right panel: anti-pTyr blot after in vitro kinase assay showing autophosphorylation by BmxWT.

FIG. 6 includes peptide array images on the BmxWT group obtained from two additional independent assays (WT2 and WT3).

FIG. 7 shows the results of an in vitro kinase assay using Bmxtide 1 or 2 and BmxWT or BmxKD.

FIG. 8 is a bar graph showing the Bmx substrate motif preference at the −2 position. Bmx substrate motif peptide pool with A/D/E/S/T at the −2 position (and other positions fixed as in Bmxtide 1) were phosphorylated using BmxWT and subjected to mass spectrometry. The preference toward each amino acid at the −2 position was quantified as the level of peptide with the amino acid at the −2 position that was dually phosphorylated divided by the level of peptide with the amino acid at the −2 position that was mono- or dual-phosphorylated.

FIGS. 9A to 9B depict the mass spectrometry results for FAK tyrosine phosphorylation. Shown are phosphopeptide maps for SRC phosphoryated FAK after in vitro kinase reactions with BmxWT (FIG. 9A) or BmxKD (FIG. 9B).

FIG. 10 shows the results of the genotyping of MEFs from embryos derived from Bmx⁻ and Bmx^(+/−) breeding. MEFs #5, #7, and #8 were wildtype, MEFs #1, #2, and #3 were Bmx^(−/−), and MEFs #6 and #9 were Bmx^(+/−).

FIG. 11 illustrates that Bmx⁻ MEFs display decreased wound healing. Bmx^(+/−) or Bmx⁻ MEFs were grown to confluence, scratch wounds were introduced with pipette tips, and pictures were taken over 0 to 9 h.

FIG. 12 shows that BMX knockdown impairs wound healing in LNCaP cells. Scratch wounds were introduced in LNCaP cells expressing BMX (SiBmx) or control siRNA (SiCtrl), and pictures were taken at 0 and 24 h. The migrated distance was measured and normalized to the BMX knockdown group. Error bars depict the standard error (SE) of three independent experiments.

FIG. 13 depicts an energy-minimized structure of a complex of the BMX (published X-ray structure (Protein Database: 3SXR)) with compound I-14, obtained by molecular modeling.

FIG. 14 shows the sequences of fragments of exemplary kinases that include cysteine residues to which the compounds of Formula (I) or (II) may attach.

FIGS. 15A to 15B confirm that the potency of the BMX inhibitors is due to covalent binding to cysteine 496. FIG. 15A shows that compound I-14 inhibits autophosphorylation of wild-type (WT) BMX at 10-100 nM, but does not inhibit the cysteine to serine mutant BMX (C496S) at up to 10,000 nM. FIG. 15B shows that the reversible analog (compound I-14R) does not inhibit BMX autophosphorylation at up to 10,000 nM.

FIGS. 16A to 16B show that compound I-14 more potently inhibits growth of cells expressing the wild-type BMX than the C496S mutant. FIG. 16A shows that treatment of BMX wildype cells (versus C496S mutant BMX) with compound I-14 (versus compound I-14R) most potently reduces cell recovery. FIG. 16B shows that the wild-type and mutant BMX are expressed at comparable levels.

The compounds of Formula (I) may bear multiple binding motifs for binding to BMX or other kinases. Ring A of the inventive compounds may be accommodated by a hydrophobic pocket in the ATP-binding site of BMX. Functionalities on Ring A and/or R^(D) may bind to residues of BMX, such as hinge residues Tyr491, Ile492, Leu543, and Val403. Functional groups of R^(D) may form one or more hydrogen bonds with BMX. Moreover, the Michael acceptor moiety of R^(D) may react with a cysteine residue (e.g., Cys496) of BMX to allow covalent attachment of the compound to BMX.

In certain embodiments, compounds of the present invention include those which:

-   -   exhibit the ability to inhibit protein phosphorylation of         specific targets exemplified, but not limited to those shown in         Table 2,     -   exhibit kinase inhibitory activity,     -   exhibit tyrosine kinase inhibitory activity,     -   exhibit non-receptor tyrosine kinase inhibitory activity,     -   exhibit the ability to inhibit Tec kinases,     -   exhibit the ability to inhibit Tec, Btk, Itk, Rlk, and/or Bmx,     -   exhibit the ability to inhibit Bmx,     -   exhibit cytotoxic or growth inhibitory effect on cancer cell         lines maintained in vitro or in animal studies using a         scientifically acceptable cancer cell xenograft model; and/or     -   exhibit a therapeutic profile (e.g., optimum safety and curative         effect) that is superior to existing chemotherapeutic agents.

In certain embodiments, the compounds of Formula (I) and (II) are specific inhibitors of BMX. Thus, it is desired that the compounds not be general inhibitors of transcription, enzyme activity or translation but that they have high specificity for the gene/enzyme target. The term “high specificity” as used herein is understood to mean that in contrast to many kinase inhibitors of the prior art, the compounds do not act on a great number or on two or more kinases having similar potency but act specifically i.e., only on tyrosine kinases, more preferably act specifically i.e., only on non-receptor tyrosine kinases, even more preferably act specifically i.e., only on Tec kinases, even more preferably act specifically i.e., only on Tec, Btk, Itk, Rlk, and Bmx, and even more preferably act specifically i.e., only on Bmx.

In certain embodiments of the invention, the specificity of the inhibitors is given by the IC₅₀ value. The IC₅₀ value is defined as the concentration of inhibitor required to inhibit 50% of the kinase activity. In certain embodiments, the compounds of Formula (I) or (II) may exhibit IC₅₀ values <100 μM. In certain other embodiments, the compounds exhibit IC₅₀ values <50 μM.

Injectable preparations, for example, sterile injectable aqueous or oleaginous suspensions can be formulated according to the known art using suitable dispersing or wetting agents and suspending agents. The sterile injectable preparation can be a sterile injectable solution, suspension or emulsion in a nontoxic parenterally acceptable diluent or solvent, for example, as a solution in 1,3-butanediol. Among the acceptable vehicles and solvents that can be employed are water, Ringer's solution, U.S.P. and isotonic sodium chloride solution. In addition, sterile, fixed oils are conventionally employed as a solvent or suspending medium. For this purpose any bland fixed oil can be employed including synthetic mono- or diglycerides. In addition, fatty acids such as oleic acid are used in the preparation of injectables.

The injectable formulations can be sterilized, for example, by filtration through a bacterial-retaining filter, or by incorporating sterilizing agents in the form of sterile solid compositions which can be dissolved or dispersed in sterile water or other sterile injectable medium prior to use.

In order to prolong the effect of a drug, it is often desirable to slow the absorption of the drug from subcutaneous or intramuscular injection. This can be accomplished by the use of a liquid suspension of crystalline or amorphous material with poor water solubility. The rate of absorption of the drug then depends upon its rate of dissolution, which, in turn, may depend upon crystal size and crystalline form. Alternatively, delayed absorption of a parenterally administered drug form may be accomplished by dissolving or suspending the drug in an oil vehicle.

Compositions for rectal or vaginal administration are typically suppositories which can be prepared by mixing the conjugates of this invention with suitable non-irritating excipients or carriers such as cocoa butter, polyethylene glycol, or a suppository wax which are solid at ambient temperature but liquid at body temperature and therefore melt in the rectum or vaginal cavity and release the active ingredient.

Solid dosage forms for oral administration include capsules, tablets, pills, powders, and granules. In such solid dosage forms, the active ingredient is mixed with at least one inert, pharmaceutically acceptable excipient or carrier such as sodium citrate or dicalcium phosphate and/or (a) fillers or extenders such as starches, lactose, sucrose, glucose, mannitol, and silicic acid, (b) binders such as, for example, carboxymethylcellulose, alginates, gelatin, polyvinylpyrrolidinone, sucrose, and acacia, (c) humectants such as glycerol, (d) disintegrating agents such as agar, calcium carbonate, potato or tapioca starch, alginic acid, certain silicates, and sodium carbonate, (e) solution retarding agents such as paraffin, (f) absorption accelerators such as quaternary ammonium compounds, (g) wetting agents such as, for example, cetyl alcohol and glycerol monostearate, (h) absorbents such as kaolin and bentonite clay, and (i) lubricants such as talc, calcium stearate, magnesium stearate, solid polyethylene glycols, sodium lauryl sulfate, and mixtures thereof. In the case of capsules, tablets and pills, the dosage form may comprise buffering agents.

Solid compositions of a similar type can be employed as fillers in soft and hard-filled gelatin capsules using such excipients as lactose or milk sugar as well as high molecular weight polyethylene glycols and the like. The solid dosage forms of tablets, dragees, capsules, pills, and granules can be prepared with coatings and shells such as enteric coatings and other coatings well known in the pharmaceutical formulating art. They may optionally comprise opacifying agents and can be of a composition that they release the active ingredient(s) only, or preferentially, in a certain part of the intestinal tract, optionally, in a delayed manner. Examples of encapsulating compositions which can be used include polymeric substances and waxes. Solid compositions of a similar type can be employed as fillers in soft and hard-filled gelatin capsules using such excipients as lactose or milk sugar as well as high molecular weight polethylene glycols and the like.

In certain embodiments, the kinase is EGFR, HER2, HER4, mTOR, Blk, Lkb1, TAK1, CLK1/2, JAK3, PIK3CG, DYRK1A, MKNK2, MEK5, PIK3CA(I800L), DYRK2, IRAK3, CSNK2A2, FLT3(D835Y), YSK4, FLT3(N841I), DYRKIB, JNK3, JNK1, PIK4CB, FLT3(ITD), and/or PIP5K2C. In some embodiments, the kinase is BMX, and the inhibitor is a BMX inhibitor. In some embodiments, the BMX inhibitor is a compound of Formula (I) or (II). In some embodiments, the BMX inhibitor is a compound of Formula (I). In other embodiments, the BMX inhibitor is a compound of Formula (II).

In some embodiments, the disease is characterized by overexpression, increased activity, and/or aberrant activity of BMX. The methods comprise administering to a subject in need thereof an inhibitor of BMX in an amount effective to treat the disease.

Overexpression, increased activity, and/or aberrant activity is understood to mean increased production of BMX protein and/or increased kinase activity of BMX protein by a cell as compared to a wild type cell. This can be triggered by a variety of causes, including, but not limited to, mutations, gene amplification of the BMX gene, increased stability or half-life of mRNA, increased translation of mRNA into protein, increased activity of the BMX protein, increased stability of the BMX protein, or a combination of any of these factors. Overexpression, increased activity, and/or aberrant activity of BMX can be determined by comparing the expression and/or activity levels of BMX in normal, healthy tissue or cells with expression and/or activity levels in diseased tissue or cells.

Examples of diseases characterized by overexpression, increased activity, and/or aberrant activity of BMX include, but are not limited to, proliferative diseases such as cancers (i.e., “malignant neoplasms”), benign neoplasms, angiogenesis, inflammatory diseases, and autoimmune diseases, and diseases associated with insulin resistance.

In one embodiment, the disease to be treated with the compounds herein is Waldenstrom's macroglobulinemia (WM). WM is a distinct clinicopathological entity resulting from the accumulation, predominantly in the bone marrow, of clonally related lymphocytes, lymphoplasmacytic cells and plasma cells, which secrete a monoclonal IgM protein. This condition is considered to correspond to the lymphoplasmacytic lymphoma (LPL) as defined by the World Health Organization lymphoma classification system. A highly recurrent somatic mutation (myeloid differentiation factor 88 [MYD88] L265P) in WM patients has been described using whole genome sequencing (WGS), and its presence subsequently confirmed by Sanger's DNA sequencing and allele-specific PCR. In total, 91% of WM/LPL patients expressed MYD88 L265P. By Sanger or allele-specific PCR, MYD88 L265P is detected in up to half of patients with IgM monoclonal gammopathy of undetermined significance, and its presence, as well as expression level are associated with malignant progression. In addition, MYD88 L265P has also been reported in ABC type DLBCL (14-29%), primary central nervous system lymphoma (33%), MALT lymphoma (9%), and chronic lymphocytic leukemia (2.9%) by either whole-genome, whole-exome or Sanger DNA sequencing. MYD88 is an adaptor molecule for Toll-like receptors (TLRs) with the exception of TLR-3 and interleukin-1 receptor (IL-1R) signaling. Following TLR or IL-1R stimulation, MYD88 is recruited to the activated receptor complex as a homodimer which then complexes with IRAK4 and activates IRAK1 and IRAK2. Tumor necrosis factor receptor associated factor 6 (TRAF6) is then activated by IRAK1 leading to NFκB activation via IκBα phosphorylation. Studies have demonstrated that survival of ABC DLBCL cells was sustained by presence of the MYD88 L265P, but not wild-type MYD88. Additionally, the studies showed that MYD88 L265P stimulated IRAK1 phosphorylation and NFκB signaling. It has also been reported that MYD88 L265P signals through IRAK1 and Bruton's Tyrosine Kinase (BTK) to mediate the activation of NF-kB independently. Moreover, it has been shown that MYD88 L265P promotes survival of WM through the activation of NF-kB thereby providing a framework for the therapeutic targeting of the MYD88 signaling pathway in WM.

Some aspects of the invention involve a method to prevent and/or treat insulin resistance in a subject. The method comprises administering to a subject in need thereof an inhibitor of BMX in an amount effective to treat the disease. Insulin resistance or glucose intolerance is a condition characterized by the body's inability to properly use insulin or blood sugar. In this condition normal amounts of insulin are inadequate to produce a normal insulin response from fat muscle or liver cells. Insulin resistance in fat cells results in hydrolysis of stored triglycerides which elevates free fatty acids in the blood plasma. Insulin resistance in muscle reduces glucose uptake whereas insulin resistance in liver reduces glucose storage with both effects serving to elevate blood glucose. High plasma levels of insulin and glucose due to insulin resistance often lead to diabetes, hyperglycemia, hyperinsulinemia, dyslipidemia, obesity, polycystic ovarian disease, hypertension, and cardiovascular disease. Accordingly, some embodiments of the invention involve treating diseases associated with insulin resistance such as diabetes, hyperglycemia, hyperinsulinemia, dyslipidemia, obesity, polycystic ovarian disease, hypertension, and cardiovascular disease.

A subject in need of treatment is a subject identified as having a kinase-associated disease, i.e., the subject has been diagnosed by a physician (e.g., using methods well known in the art) as having a kinase-associated disease. In some embodiments, the subject in need of treatment is a subject suspected of having or developing a kinase-associated disease, such as a subject presenting one or more symptoms indicative of a kinase-associated disease. For example, a subject suspected of having a kinase-associated disease, such as an autoimmune disease, may display abnormal titres of autoantibodies. The subject having abnormal titres of autoantibodies may have at least one other symptom of autoimmune disease or may be without other symptoms associated with autoimmune disease. The term “subject in need of treatment” further includes people who once had a kinase-associated disease but whose symptoms have ameliorated.

One or more additional pharmaceutical agents, such as anti-cancer agents (e.g., chemotherapeutics), anti-inflammatory agents, steroids, immunosuppressants, radiation therapy, or other agents, can be used in combination with the compounds of Formula (I) or (II) for treatment of kinase-associated diseases. The one or more additional pharmaceutical agents can be administered to the subject simultaneously or sequentially. Inhibition of one or more additional kinases may be useful in potentiating the antiproliferative activities of one or more of the compounds described herein. Additional kinase inhibitors that may be useful as additional pharmaceutical agents include kinase inhibitors such as inhibitors of mTOR (AZD8055, Torin1, Torin2, and WYE125132), PI3K (GDC0941), EGFR and Her2 (erlotinib, gefitinib, and lapatinib), and the allosteric Akt inhibitor (MK2206). In one embodiment, the additional pharmaceutical agent is MK2206. Other exemplary agents that may be useful in combination with the compounds described herein include bortezomib, ixazomib, carfilzomib, oprozomib, bendamustine, cyclophosphamide, rituximab, ofatumumab, chlorambucil, everolimus, ibrutinib, idelalisib, plerixafor, and/or BMS-936564 CXCR4 antibody.

An effective amount of a compound may vary from about 0.001 mg/kg to about 1000 mg/kg in one or more dose administrations, for one or several days (depending on the mode of administration). In certain embodiments, the effective amount varies from about 0.001 mg/kg to about 1000 mg/kg, from about 0.01 mg/kg to about 750 mg/kg, from about 0.1 mg/kg to about 500 mg/kg, from about 1.0 mg/kg to about 250 mg/kg, and from about 10.0 mg/kg to about 150 mg/kg.

In some embodiments, the inhibitor of BMX is chronically administered to the subject in need of treatment for a disease associated with insulin resistance. “Chronic” as used herein refers to continuous, regular, long-term therapeutic administration, i.e., periodic administration without substantial interruption, such as, for example, daily for a time period of at least several days, weeks or to several years for the purpose of treating a disease associated with insulin resistance. In some embodiments, chronic administration of an inhibitor of BMX comprises maintaining the BMX inhibitor in the subject at chronic steady state plasma levels between about 1 ng/ml and about 10 mg/ml. In some embodiments, chronic administration of an inhibitor of BMX comprises maintaining the BMX inhibitor in the subject at chronic steady state plasma levels between about 5 ng/ml and about 5 μg/ml.

Stachowiak (State University of New York at Buffalo). Purified FAK, phosphorylated in vitro by SRC, was obtained from Invitrogen (Carlsbad, Calif.). Bmx⁻ mice were obtained from Dr. K. Alitaro (University of Helsinki, Finland).

Cell Culture and Transfection

HEK293 and COS7 cells were cultured in DMEM/10% FBS (Hyclone, Logan, Utah). LNCaP and VCS2 cells were cultured in RPMI-1640/10% FBS. Primary MEFs were isolated from E13.5 embryos from a Bmx^(+/−) female and a Bmx⁻ male pair. The cells were trypsinized and cultured in DMEM/10% FBS. The first generation was genotyped, and cells under 5^(th) generation were used. Transfections were performed using Lipofectamine 2000 (Invitrogen, Carlsbad, Calif.). For wound healing assays, cells were grown to confluence, and pipette tips were used to injure the cell surface. Fresh media was then added, and the injured areas were photographed at time points indicated.

Immunological Methods

Cells were lysed with RIPA buffer (50 mM Tris-HCl, pH 8.0, 150 mM NaCl, 1% NP-40, 0.5% deoxycholate, 0.1% SDS, 1 mM EDTA, 1 mM EGTA, 1 mM β-glycerophosphate, 1 mM pyrophosphate, 100 mM sodium fluoride, 1 mM Na₃VO₄, and protease inhibitors). Lysates were sonicated for 10 s and centrifuged at 13,000 rpm at 4° C. for 15 min. For anti-3×Flag immunoprecipitation, equal amounts of protein (1-5 mg) were mixed with 20-50 μl of anti-3×Flag-conjugated (M2) agarose beads and incubated at 4° C. overnight with continuous agitation. The beads were washed extensively with RIPA buffer followed by TBS buffer, and beads were eluted with 2× Laemmli sample buffer. Samples were boiled for 5 min, and resolved on 4-12% NuPAGE gels (Invitrogen, Carlsbad, Calif.) followed by membrane transfer. Membranes were blocked with 5% milk (or 5% BSA for phosphospecific antibodies) in TBS/0.1% Tween 20 (TBS/T) at room temperature for 1 h and incubated with primary antibodies overnight at 4° C. Membranes were then incubated with secondary antibodies at room temperature for 1 h and developed by ECL. All blots are representative of at least three experiments.

For immunofluorescence, cells grown on glass coverslips were fixed with formaldehyde, incubated with primary antibodies followed by secondary antibodies conjugated with Alexa (Invitrogen, Carlsbad, Calif.) and Hoechst. All micrographs were taken at the same confocal microscope setting. To assess effects of BMX on insulin receptor (IR) in vivo, mice were fasted overnight, injected intraperitoneally with 2 g/kg glucose, and sacrificed after 15 min. Tissues were rapidly removed, frozen in liquid nitrogen, and homogenates were immunoblotted.

In Vitro Activity Assays

The in vitro activity of compounds of Formula (I) and (II) in inhibiting BMX and other kinases were obtained using an Invitrogen Select Screening assay as known in the art. The IC₅₀ values determined from this assay are shown below.

In Vitro Kinase Assays

Purified BMX was mixed with substrate (FAK or Bmxtides), kinase buffer (final 20 mM HEPES, pH 7.5, 10 mM MgCl₂, 20 mM β-glycerophosphate, 1 mM dithiothreitol, 20 μM ATP, 5 mM Na₃VO₄) and 1 μCi of [γ-³²P]ATP (omitted for cold in vitro kinase assays analyzed by mass spectroscopy) for 30 min at 30° C. Reactions were stopped with 10 mM EDTA and Laemmli sample buffer. Samples were resolved by 4-12% NuPAGE gel, and visualized by autoradiography. The positional scanning peptide library assay was performed according to published methods (Hutti et al., Nat. Methods 1, 27 (2004); Turk et al., Nat. Protoc. 1, 375 (2006)). Labelled peptide libraries were spotted onto avidin-coated filter sheets (SAM2 Biotin Capture Membrane, Promega, Madison, Wis.), which were washed, dried, and exposed to a phosphoimager screen.

Tandem Mass Spectrometry (LC/MS/MS)

For all mass spectrometry (MS) experiments, FAK protein was separated using SDS-PAGE, stained with Coomassie blue, and the FAK band was excised. Samples were subjected to reduction with dithiothreitol, alkylation with iodoacetamide, and in-gel digestion with trypsin or chymotrypsin overnight at pH 8.3, followed by reversed-phase microcapillary/tandem mass spectrometry (LC/MS/MS). LC/MS/MS was performed using an Easy-nLC nanoflow HPLC (Proxeon Biosystems, West Palm Beach, Fla.) with a self-packed 75 μm i.d.×15 cm Cis column coupled to a LTQ-Orbitrap XL mass spectrometer (Thermo Scientific, Waltham, Mass.) in the data-dependent acquisition and positive ion mode at 300 nL/min. Peptide ions from BMX predicted phosphorylation sites were also targeted in MS/MS mode for quantitative analyses. MS/MS spectra collected via collision induced dissociation in the ion trap were searched against the concatenated target and decoy (reversed) single entry FAK and full Swiss-Prot protein databases using Sequest (Proteomics Browser Software, Thermo Scientific, Waltham, Mass.) with differential modifications for Ser/Thr/Tyr phosphorylation (+79.97) and the sample processing artifacts Met oxidation (+15.99), deamidation of Asn and Gin (+0.984), and Cys alkylation (+57.02). Phosphorylated and unphosphorylated peptide sequences were identified if they initially passed the following Sequest scoring thresholds against the target database: 1+ ions, Xcorr≥2.0 Sf≥0.4, P≥5; 2+ ions, Xcorr≥2.0, Sf≥0.4, P≥5; 3+ ions, Xcorr≥2.60, Sf≥0.4, P≥5, against the target protein database. Passing MS/MS spectra were manually inspected to be sure that all b- and y-fragment ions aligned with the assigned sequence and modification sites. Determination of the exact sites of phosphorylation was aided using Fuzzylons and GraphMod and phosphorylation site maps were created using ProteinReport software (Proteomics Browser Software suite, Thermo Scientific, Waltham, Mass.). False discovery rates (FDR) of peptide hits (phosphorylated and unphosphorylated) were estimated below 1.5% based on reversed database hits (Breitkopf et al., Current Protocols in Molecular Biology 98:18.19.1-18.19.27 (2012); Egan et al., Science 331, 456 (2011); Dibble et al., Mol. Cell Biol. 29, 5657 (2009); Zheng et al., Mol. Cell 33, 237 (2009)).

Relative Quantification of Phosphorylation Sites

For relative quantification of phosphorylated peptide signal levels, an isotope-free (label-free) method was used by first integrating the total ion counts (TIC) for each MS/MS sequencing event during a targeted ion MS/MS (TIMM) experiment or a data-dependent acquisition. For each targeted phosphorylation site, a ratio of phosphorylated peptide signal (TIC of phosphorylated form (TIC_(PO4))) to the total peptide signal (TIC of phosphorylated form+TIC of non-phosphorylated form (TIC_(nonPO4))) for each sample was calculated according to the following equation:

TIC_(PO4)/(TIC_(PO4)+TIC_(nonPO4))=Ratio of phosphopeptide signal(R _(PO4))

For samples where TIC_(PO4) was not above background, the background value was used. These ratios of phosphopeptide signal were then compared to the same phosphopeptide ratios from the BmxWT (stimulated) and bmxKD (unstimulated) samples according to the following equation:

[(R _(PO4) Unstimulated/R _(PO4) Stimulated)−1]×100=% change in phosphorylation

While a direct comparison of phosphopeptide signals between different experimental conditions is not accurate due to differences in sample content, a comparison of the relative ratios of the phosphorylated to nonphosphorylated peptide forms between samples is an accurate measure of signal-level change since the total peptide signal (modified and unmodified) is measured. The above calculations were performed manually using Microsoft Excel and with automated in-house developed software named Protein Modification Quantifier v1.0 (Beth Israel Deaconess Medical Center, Boston, Mass.) (Yuan et al., Structure 19, 1084 (2011); Yang et al., Cancer Res. 71, 5965 (2011); Jiang et al., J. Biol. Chem. 285, 14980 (2010); Asara et al., Proteomics 8, 994 (2008)).

Metabolic Assays

8-10-month old mice were used for metabolic assays. For glucose tolerance test (GTT), mice were fasted for 16 h, blood was drawn, and the mice were injected intraperitoneally with 2 g/kg dextrose. Blood glucose and insulin measurement were obtained from tail vein using OneTouch Ultra (Life Scan, Milpitas, Calif.) and Ultra Sensitive Mouse Insulin ELISA Kits (Crystal Chem, Downers Grove, Ill.) Tissues were collected 15 min after injection and frozen in liquid nitrogen until analysis. For insulin tolerance tests, mice were fasted 4 h and were given 0.75 units/kg body weight human recombinant insulin (Invitrogen, Carlsbad, Calif.) intraperitoneally. Blood glucose levels were monitored at indicated time.

Statistical Analysis

Results are expressed as mean+SE. Statistical significance was determined by a two-sided Student's t-test, with p<0.05 considered statistically significant.

Molecular Modeling

Molecular modeling was performed on a complex of the BMX (published X-ray crystal structure (Protein Database: 3SXR)) with a compound of Formula (I) or (II) (e.g., I-14). The total free energy of the complex was minimized. An exemplary energy-minimized structure, shown in FIG. 13, indicates that compounds of Formula (I) or (II) (e.g., I-14) may bind to various residues of BMX, such as hinge residues Tyr491, Ile492, Leu543, and Val403. The modeling results also suggest that the Michael acceptor moiety of compounds of Formula (I) or (II) is in close proximity to and may react with a cysteine residue (e.g., Cys496) of BMX.

DiscoverX Binding Assays

DiscoverX binding assays were performed according to published methods (Fabian et al., Nat. Biotechnol. 23, 329-36 (2005); Davis et al., Nat. Biotechnol. 29, 1046-51 (2011)). Compounds that bind an active site of a protein (e.g., a kinase, such as BMX, BLK, BTK, JAK3, EGFR(T790M), ITK, TEC, mTOR, or mTORC 1) and directly (sterically) or indirectly (allosterically) prevent protein binding to the immobilized ligand, will reduce the amount of protein captured on a solid support. Conversely, compounds that do not bind the protein have no effect on the amount of protein captured on the solid support. Screening hits are identified by measuring the amount of protein captured in test versus control samples by using a quantitative, precise, and ultra-sensitive qPCR method that detects the associated DNA label. In a similar manner, dissociation constants (K_(d)'s) for compound-protein interactions are calculated by measuring the amount of protein captured on the solid support as a function of the test compound concentration.

General Procedure for Anti-Proliferation Assay for Prostate Cancer Cells

Cell proliferation was determined after treatment of I-14 or I-14R for either 48 hours or 5 days using CellTiter-Glo luminescent assay from Promega (USA) and measured using Envision plate reader (PerkinElmer). Data were normalized to control group (DMSO) and represented by the mean of at least two independent measurement with standard error <20%. GI50 were calculated using Prism 5.0 (GraphPad Software, San Diego, Calif.).

Prostate Cancer Cell Apoptosis Studies with Inhibitor Compound

R^(V)1 cells were cultured in 1% FBS/RPMI with different doses of I-14 for 3 days, and then immunostained for cleaved caspase-3 (Cell signaling Technology, green color) and Hoechst 33342 (blue color). Caspase-3 positive cells were counted and normalized to total cell number (N=5).

Cell Proliferation Analysis for Waldenström's Macroglobulinemia (WM) Cell Lines

CellTiter-Glo® Luminescent cell viability assay (Promega) was used to assess cell survival following treatment with an inhibitor compound of Formula (I) or (II) (e.g., I-14). Various cell lines were used including Waldenstrom's macroglobulinemia (WM) cell lines (BCWM.1, MWCL-1, RPCI-WM1) and B-cell lymphoma cell lines (OCI-Ly3, Ramos, OCI-Lyl9). Cells were seeded into 384 well plates with the EL406 Combination Washer Dispenser (BioTek Instruments, Inc.) and inhibitor compounds were injected into the cells culture media with the JANUS Automated Workstation (PerkinElmer Inc.). Cells were treated with a series diluted inhibitor compounds (20˜0.04 μM) for 72 hours at 37° C. Luminescent measurement is performed using the 2104 Envision® Multilabel Reader (PerkinElmer Inc.).

Apoptosis Analysis for Primary Patient Bone Marrow Tumor Cells

Primary patient WM cells genotyped for MYD88 L265P, as well as MYD88 WT healthy donor CD19-selected peripheral blood mononuclear cells (PBMCs) were treated with and without inhibitor compounds. Cells were incubated at 37° C. with 0.01˜4 μM of an inhibitor compound of Formula (I) or (H) (e.g., II-4). Apoptosis analysis was performed using Annexin V-FITC/Propidium iodide staining with the Apoptosis Detection Kit I (BD Pharmingen). 1×10⁶/well cells were treated in 24 well plates for ˜24 hours with inhibitor compounds or corresponding controls. A minimum of 10,000 events were acquired using a BD™ FACSCanto II flow cytometer and analyzed with BD FACS DIVA Software.

Results

To gain insight into BMX targets, a modified positional scanning peptide library approach was used to determine whether it has an optimal substrate phosphorylation motif (Hutti et al., Nat. Methods 1, 27 (2004)). As a source of enzymes used stably transfected LNCaP prostate cancer cells and purified 3×Flag-BMX wild-type (BmxWT) and 3×Flag-BMX kinase-dead harboring a K445M mutation (BmxKD) (Jiang et al., J. Biol. Chem. 282, 32689 (2007)) (FIG. 5). The assay employed 198 biotinylated peptide libraries, each containing a tyrosine fixed at the central position and one additional position fixed to one of the 20 naturally occurring amino acids (FIG. 1B). All other positions contained a degenerate mixture of amino acids (excluding serine, threonine, and cysteine). Phosphothreonine and phosphotyrosine (pY) residues were included at the fixed positions to facilitate identification of kinases requiring priming phosphorylation events. To avoid effects due to enzyme recruitment through SH2 or SH3 domains on a solid surface, kinase assays were performed in solution using γ-³²P-ATP with the active and kinase-dead BMX. Biotinylated peptides then were captured with a streptavidin-coated membrane, and the preference for each amino acid at each position was determined by the relative level of radiolabel incorporation.

BMX exhibited strong sequence selectivity at positions surrounding the phosphorylation site (FIG. 1B, WT), whereas BmxKD exhibited minimal activity (FIG. 1B, KD), confirming that peptides were not being phosphorylated by a contaminating kinase. BMX showed a dramatic preference for a priming pY at position −1, with a less marked preference for isoleucine at the −1 position. The kinase also preferred substrates with acidic residues at position −2, and showed a less marked preference for additional tyrosine residues at −4, +2, and +3, and for tryptophan at the +1 position. Data from three independent library screens (FIG. 1B and FIG. 6) were quantified to yield consensus optimal substrates with either pY (matrix shown in Table 1) or isoleucine at the −1 position (peptides 1 and 2, respectively, FIG. 1C). In vitro kinase assays confirmed Bmx phosphorylation of the pY peptide (peptide 1), but a signal with the IY peptide (peptide 2, FIG. 7) was not detected. As peptide 1 contained four tyrosines that were potential phosphorylation sites, in vitro phosphorylated peptide 1 was analyzed using mass spectrometry. Importantly, in addition to nonphosphorylated peptide and peptide phosphorylated at the priming −1 tyrosine, the only peptide detected was tyrosine phosphorylated at both the central and −1 positions (data not shown). Finally, using mass spectrometry to assess the effects of varying the −2 position in peptide 1, a preference for acidic residues was confirmed, with a less marked preference for threonine or serine (FIG. 8). Together these results indicated that pYY was a core substrate motif for BMX.

Using the PhosphoSite Plus database from Cell Signaling Technology (www.phosphosite.org), proteins containing pYpY were screened as potential BMX substrates. Surprisingly, many receptor and nonreceptor tyrosine kinases met the BMX substrate motif requirement (Table 2). These sites are highly conserved and, in the receptor tyrosine kinases, are located in kinase domains where they can undergo autophosphorylation in response to hormone/growth factor binding and are required for full kinase activity (Calalb et al., Mol. Cell Biol. 15, 954 (1995); Ciccimaro et al., Rapid Commun. Mass Spectrom. 20, 3681 (2006); avelyukis et al., Nat. Struct. Biol. 8, 1058 (2001); Hubbard, Embo. J. 16, 5572 (1997); Bae et al., Cell 138, 514 (2009)). To validate the predicted substrate motif on intact proteins, commercially available antibodies recognizing pYpY were used in several tyrosine kinases. Immunoblotting with an antibody recognizing the pYpY in MET revealed increased reactivity when cells were cotransfected with MET and BmxWT plasmids versus a BmxKD plasmid (FIG. 1D, left panel). Cotransfection with BmxWT similarly increased reactivity when the cells in serum free medium (SFM) were stimulated with hepatocyte growth factor (HGF) (FIG. 1D, right panel). Cotransfection of BMX with FAK markedly increased pYpY levels (pY576/577) in the FAK kinase domain (FIG. 1E, left panel). In contrast, the SRC-mediated phosphorylation of Y576 was not markedly increased, and there was no detectable Y577 monophosphorylation, consistent with BMX phosphorylation of Y577 only after a priming phosphorylation of Y576. Transfected BMX also markedly increased pY576/577 on endogenous FAK, without increasing pY576 (FIG. 1E, right panel). Finally, it was found that BMX increased pYpY in FGFR1 (FIG. 1F) and in the non-receptor tyrosine kinase ACK1 (FIG. 1G). JAK2 was also examined, as BMX was reported recently to be required for STAT3 activation in glioblastoma stem cells (Guryanova et aL, Cancer Cell 19, 498, 2011)), but a clear effect of transfected BmxWT on the pYpY site in the JAK2 kinase domain was not seen.

The BMX PH domain can interact with the FERM domain of FAK, with subsequent membrane recruitment and activation of BMX by FAK associated SRC (Chen et al., Nat. Cell Biol. 3, 439 (2001)). Therefore, what was next focused on was to determine whether FAK was a physiological BMX substrate. To confirm FAK Y576/577 phosphorylation, mass spectrometric analysis of FAK was performed after in vitro kinase reactions with wild-type or kinase-dead BMX. The substrate used was a commercial recombinant FAK that was initially phosphorylated in vitro by SRC. Tyrosine phosphorylated peptides identified in the BmxWT sample are shown in FIG. 2A, although the analysis was not comprehensive due to limited peptide coverage (complete phosphorylation maps of FAK with BmxWT and BmxKD are shown in FIGS. 9A to 9B). As expected, tyrosine phosphorylation at Y576 alone was found, reflecting the in vitro phosphorylation by SRC. Dual phosphorylation at Y576/Y577 was observed only with wild-type BMX, and phosphorylation at Y577 alone was did not detected, consistent with previous data showing Y576 is phosphorylated prior to Y577 (Ciccimaro et al., Rapid Commun. Mass Spectrom. 20, 3681 (2006)).

To generate more quantitative data, an isotope-free targeted mass spectrometric approach was used to quantify relative ratios of peptides phosphorylated at Y576, Y577, or at both sites. Among all detected peptides containing Y576/577 in the BmxWT treated sample, 81% were phosphorylated only at Y576, and 8.4% were dually phosphorylated at Y576 and Y577 (spectra for dual phosphopeptide is shown in FIG. 2B). In contrast, while 86% of Y576/577 containing peptides in the BmxKD treated sample were phosphorylated at Y576, there were no peaks above background (0.66%) detected for the pY576/577 peptide, indicating an increase of at least 12-fold by wild-type BMX (FIG. 2C). Less marked increases in phosphorylation also were found at two other sites targeted for analysis, Y194 and Y441 (the latter being an IY site) (FIG. 2C). Finally, cells cotransfected with BmxWT or BmxKD and a series of mutant FAKs were examined. Reactivity of wild-type FAK with the pY576/577 antibody again was increased by BmxWT, and this increase was abrogated by the Y576A and Y577A mutations (but not Y194A or Y441A mutations), supporting the specificity of the antibody and further establishing that BMX can phosphorylate FAK Y577 in vivo subsequent to priming by phosphorylation at Y576 (FIG. 2D).

BMX expression is increased in prostate cancer, and transgenic BMX overexpression in mouse prostate induces intraepithelial neoplasia (Dai et al., Cancer Res. 66, 8058 (2006)). Therefore, to analyze FAK phosphorylation by endogenous BMX, siRNA was used to decrease BMX in two human prostate cancer cell lines (VCS2 and LNCaP) expressing relatively high levels of endogenous BMX. LNCaP cells, which are PTEN deficient and subsequently have PI-3K pathway activation, were transfected with BMX or control siRNA and then serum starved for 72 hours, followed by serum stimulation and immunoblotting for FAK pY576/577. BMX knockdown did not prevent an increase at 5 minutes, but it markedly decreased the duration of the response (FIG. 3A). In VCS2 cells (derived from a VCaP xenograft that relapsed after castration) (Cai et al., Cancer Cell 20, 457 (2011)), BMX siRNA decreased pY576/Y577 under serum starved conditions and also impaired the response to serum stimulation (FIG. 3B). As FAK links both growth factor and matrix/integrin stimulation to intracellular signals that promote cell migration, matrix stimulated FAK phosphorylation was also analyzed. BMX siRNA reduced FAK pY576/577 under basal and fibronectin stimulated conditions (FIG. 3C).

Bmx⁻ mice appear normal, but have a defect in ischemia induced angiogenesis that could reflect decreased FAK activity and migration of endothelial cells (He et al., J. Clin. Invest. 116, 2344 (2006)). Therefore, mouse embryonic fibroblasts (MEFs) from Bmx⁻ mice were examined. Male littermates that were wildtype for Bmx (Bmx⁺) or Bmx negative (Bmx⁻), or females that were heterozygous for Bmx (Bmx^(+/−)) were identified by genotyping and used to generate shortterm MEF lines (FIG. 10). Lower basal FAK pY576/Y577 in Bmx⁻ compared to Bmx⁺ MEFs was detected, and pY576/Y577 in Bmx⁻ MEFs after fibronectin stimulation was marked decreased (FIG. 3D). Phosphorylation of p130Cas, a direct downstream substrate of FAK, also was markedly impaired, consistent with the requirement for Y576/577 phosphorylation to fully activate FAK.

BMX stimulated FAK pY576/Y577 was most evident at lower cell density, consistent with a requirement for a priming Y576 phosphorylation by SRC at the plasma membrane. To test this hypothesis, immunofluorescence was used to assess the cellular localization of transfected BMX and endogenous FAK pY576/Y577. Cells transfected with BmxWT, but not BmxKD, showed strong FAK pY576/577 staining that colocalized with BMX at the plasma membrane (FIG. 3E). To further assess the localization of BMX and pY576/Y577 FAK in response to a physiological FAK stimulus, scratch wounds were introduced into COS7 cells transfected with BmxWT or BmxKD. Immunostaining done at about 3 hours showed co-localization of pY576/577 FAK with BmxWT, but not BmxKD, in lamellipodia of migrating cells at the leading edge (FIG. 3F). Wound healing assays were next performed to determine the influence of endogenous BMX on cell migration. Scratch wounds were introduced on MEFs grown to confluency, and pictures of the leading edge were taken at time points 0 and 9 hours (FIG. 11). Bmxr MEFs showed impaired wound healing compared to Bmx⁺ MEFs and Bmx^(+/−) MEFs from female mice (FIG. 3G). BMX downregulation by siRNA similarly impaired wound healing in LNCaP cells (FIG. 12). This defect in the Bmx⁻ MEFs could be corrected by transfection with BmxWT, but not BmxKD (FIG. 3H), and the stimulatory effect of BmxWT could be blocked by a FAK antagonist (PF562271) (FIG. 3I). Together these findings show that BMX activates FAK by phosphorylating Y577 subsequent to a priming phosphorylation at Y576.

An additional candidate BMX substrate is insulin receptor (IR), which in addition to pY1189/1190 in its kinase domain undergoes phosphorylation at Y1185 to achieve full activation (Table 2) (Hubbard, Embo. J. 16, 5572 (1997); White et al., J. Biol. Chem. 263, 2969 (1988); zynski et al., Biochem. Biophys. Res. Commun. 279, 955 (2000); Baserga, Exp. Cell Res. 253, 1 (1999)). Immunoblotting with pY1189/1190 and pY1185 IR antibodies showed that BMX downregulation by siRNA in LNCaP cells impaired insulin stimulated IR activation (FIG. 4A). Interestingly, Y1185 is preceded by an isoleucine, suggesting that it may be an IY motif for BMX. Insulin stimulated IR phosphorylation similarly was impaired in Bmx⁻ MEFs (FIG. 4B), despite higher levels of total IR expression in Bmx⁻ versus Bmx⁺ MEFs (FIG. 4C). Insulin stimulated phosphorylation of AKT at T308, which is mediated by PDK1 immediately downstream of PI-3K, also was decreased in Bmx⁻ MEFs, as was phosphorylation of AKT substrate GSK30 and downstream S6 (FIG. 4B). In contrast, AKT phosphorylation at S473, which is mediated by TOR^(C2) and generally correlates with T308 phosphorylation, was not decreased (FIG. 4B). Consistent with this result, expression of the phosphatase PHLPP, which dephosphorylates AKT pS473 (Gao et al., Mol. Cell 18, 13 (2005)), was decreased in the Bmx⁻ MEFs (FIG. 4C). Moreover, increased levels of total IR and decreased PHLPP in vivo in liver from Bmx⁻ mice were also observed (FIG. 4C), indicating that cells were adapting to decreased IR signaling and PI-3K/AKT pathway activity.

To assess effects on insulin signaling in vivo, liver from mice was examined that were sacrificed 15 minutes after injection with glucose to stimulate insulin secretion. As observed in the Bmx⁻ MEFs, phosphorylation of IR and of AKT at T308 were reduced, while pAKT473 was increased (FIG. 4D). Moreover, analysis of GSK3β and S6 phosphorylation in liver from a series of Bmx⁺ versus Bmx⁻ mice showed that signaling downstream of AKT was actually enhanced in the Bmx⁻ mice (FIG. 4E). Consistent with the increased AKT signaling in liver, glucose tolerance testing showed lower peak serum glucose (FIG. 4F) and insulin levels (FIG. 4G) in Bmx⁻ mice. Insulin tolerance testing confirmed that Bmx⁻ mice had an increased response to insulin (FIG. 4H). These findings demonstrate that chronic loss of BMX leads to adaptations including downregulation of PHLPP (which also dephosphorylates S6 kinase), which may enhance responses to some stimuli.

Compounds of Formula (I) or (II) show inhibitory activity against BMX. Shown in Table 3 are exemplary in vitro IC₅₀ data of these compounds.

Compounds of Formula (I) or (II) may covalently attach to BMX by reacting with a cysteine residue (e.g., Cys496) of BMX. The compounds of Formula (I) or (II) may also form covalent bonds to equivalently positioned cysteine residues in other kinases, such as EGFR, Jak3, BLK, BTK, TEC, Txk, and ITK. Shown in FIG. 14 are the sequences of fragments of exemplary kinases that include cysteine residues to which the compounds of Formula (I) or (II) may attach. An X-ray co-crystal structure of compound II-6 on EGFR (T790M) is shown in U.S. provisional patent application, U.S. Ser. No. 61/622,828.

The Michael receptor moiety (e.g., the group of any one of Formulae (i-1H)-(i-17) and (ii-1)-(ii-17)) of a compound of Formula (I) or (II) may be responsible for the covalent attachment of the compound to a kinase. The Michael receptor moiety is typically electrophilic and capable of reacting with a nucleophile such as a cysteine residue of the kinase (e.g., Cys496 of BMX). In contrast, a compound (e.g., compound I-14R, shown below) that does not include a Michael receptor moiety and is not be able to form covalent attachment to a kinase is expected not to show inhibitory activity against the kinase. Illustrated in FIGS. 15A to 15B is the result of an IP kinase assay of both wide type BMX and BMXC496S with compound I-14 or I-14R. Shown in FIG. 16A is the assaying result of compounds I-14 and I-14R in stably transfected wide type BMX and BMXC496S in R^(V)-1 cancer cell line.

Compounds of Formula (I) or (II) (e.g., I-14 and II-6) may be active in inhibiting a variety of kinases, such as BMX, BLK, BTK, JAK3, EGFR(T790M), ITK, TEC, mTOR, and mTOR^(C1) (Table 4). Also shown in Table 4 are percent control values of these compounds obtained from a DiscoverX binding assay.

Compounds of Formula (I) or (II) (e.g., I-14) may also be active in inhibiting the proliferation of a range of cell lines, such as a panel of murine Ba/F3 cells that were transformed with TEL fusion proteins (e.g., TEL-BMX, TEL-JAK, TEL-JAK2, TEL-JAK3, TEL-JAK3 (+IL-3), TYK2E957D, TEL-Abl, and TEL-BLK). Shown in Table 5 are GI₅₀ (i.e., concentration required to inhibit cell growth by 50%) values of compound I-14 in inhibiting the growth of those exemplary cell lines.

The present study has revealed a unique substrate motif for BMX and shown that BMX functions to amplify tyrosine kinase signaling by phosphorylation of kinase domain pYY sites. It is proposed that the initial priming tyrosine phosphorylation is mediated by autophosphorylation in response to hormone binding or by other kinases (such as SRC for FAK), and that BMX may be recruited through its SH2 domain and mediate transphosphorylation to achieve full activation. While acute downregulation of BMX may suppress multiple signal transduction pathways, chronic loss of BMX activity as occurs in Bmx⁻ mice leads to adaptations, including decreased PHLPP, which may actually enhance downstream signaling in response to some stimuli. The central role of BMX in modulating tyrosine kinase signal transduction pathways indicates that BMX inhibitors may be efficacious in many proliferative diseases (e.g., cancers, benign neoplasms, angiogenesis, inflammatory diseases, and autoimmune diseases) that are characterized by increased tyrosine kinase signaling. Conversely, chronic exposure to BMX inhibitors may enhance signaling downstream of some receptor tyrosine kinases and could be efficacious in some diseases including type 2 diabetes characterized by insulin resistance.

Antiproliferative Activity of I-14 Against Prostate Cancer Cell Lines

The ability of I-14 to inhibit the proliferation of a small panel of prostate cancer cell lines, including R^(V)-1, DU-145, PC-3, VACP, and C₄₋₂ was studied. Shown in Table 6 are GI₅₀ values of compound I-14 in inhibiting the growth of those exemplary prostate cancer cell lines.

TABLE 6 GI₅₀ values of compound I-14 in inhibiting the growth of exemplary cell lines Cell line RV-1 DU-145 PC-3 VACP C4-2 GI₅₀ 2.54 4.38 5.37 2.46 >10 (μM)

The effects of I-14 on R^(V)-1 cells was further studied. The proliferation of R^(V)-1 cells following a 5 day incubation with I-14 was inhibited with an IC50 of 2.53 μM. Treatment of R^(V)-1 cells with a 1 uM concentration of I-14 was sufficient to inhibit BMX autophosphorylation. Treatment of R^(V)-1 cells with a 5 μM concentration of I-14 resulted in reduced cell numbers and induced apoptosis as assessed by Caspase 3 staining. In contrast, the non-covalent analogue, I-14R, did not possess antiproliferative effects against R^(V)-1 cells at concentrations below 10 μM. FIG. 18D shows the foregoing results.

Further, treatment of R^(V)-1 cells with I-14 affected BMX protein levels using R^(V)-1 cells stably transfected with both wild-type and C496S mutant BMX. BMX protein levels in R^(V)-1 cells were significantly reduced by a 72 h treatment of I-14 (5 μM) but not with I-14R. With blockage of nascent protein synthesis using cyclohexamide, the level of ectopically expressed BMX protein in R^(V)-1 cells was observed to decrease upon treatment with I-14 as compared to the control and treatment with I-14R. Moreover, the depletion could be rescued upon stable overexpression of the C496S mutant BMX. The results suggest that, in addition to inhibiting BMX catalytic activity, I-14 can also decrease BMX protein levels.

Combination Studies of I-14 with MK2206 in Prostate Cancer Cell Line

Dose-response experiments demonstrated with concentrations as low as 25 nM of MK2206 could potentiate the antiproliferative activity of I-14 against R^(V)-1 cells. Fluorescence activated cell sorting (FACS) using propidiumiodide (PI) staining demonstrated that the inhibitor combination increased apoptosis as assessed by the percentage of sub-G1 cells without exerting major effects on the cell cycledistribution. FIGS. 20A, 20B, and 21 show results of the I-14 and MK2206 combination studies.

Apoptosis Analysis of B-Cells by II-4

In CD19+B-cells isolated from a waldenstrom's macroglobulinemia patient following six months of ibrutinib treatment, II-4 effectively killed ex vivo cells (see FIG. 22). Similar results have been obtained for two other patients.
